Well, like I posted in my introduction post ( http://www.cartographersguild.com/showthread.php?t=5832 ) I'm messing around with a map for my game world, based on Europe.
Someone suggested making the map in a old-school "Mercator" style.
So I started over from scratch once again, and have started making a Mercator map in GIMP.
Now, I still need to fill in a lot of towns. But Castile is more or less finished. So any suggestions?
I am looking for two things. First a method to make the rivers less pixelated and more pretty Secondly I think I need another font for the town names, but I'm having a hard time finding something that both fits and is legible from a distance.
